All types of groceries and provisions can be marketed
from the Ever Open Shop, such as butter, cream, milk, bacon,
eggs, cooking fat - in fact, almost any daily necessity.
Available in twelve different models, from a single column to
a four-column version, the machines cost between £150 and £715.
Tired feet?
Also to be seen on the Automat stand will
be the Micro Resonance Vibrator - a machine which relieves the
tension of foot fatigue caused by excessive walking or standing.
It has also a soothing and beneficial overall psychological
effect.
Coin-operated, the Micro Resonance Vibrator operates on
approved medical principles.
The insertion of a coin starts
the platform vibrating at high speed for a specific length of
time.
This action applies a purely mechanical massage to
the feet and legs as far as the knee joints, stimulates the
circulation and relaxes the muscles.
Two models are shown,
one of which embodies a special advertising unit which contains
a series of constantly changing panels.
Visitors to the Automat Stand can also see a selection
from their range of hot and cold drink dispensers and their
confectionery vending machines.
All machines carry the Company's 3 years unconditional
guarantee.
Further details may be obtained from the Stand, No. C.I.,
or Automat Machine Sales Limited, Challenge House, Elmers End
Road, Beckenham, Kent.

Amongst several spectacular new exhibits at the second International

machines.
Three machines built as an automatic bar will offer a choice of
gin and tonic, whisky and soda, and rum toddy.

with time switches which automatically "lock up" after licensing hours.
Drinks are mixed on the insertion of a coin and appear in a dispensable cup.
The machines represent a first venture into the vending field by Rollason
Aerocessaries Ltd.
of Croydon and they are expected to fulfil a great need
in crowded club and theatre bars.
Magazines. Portable Post Offices, and Phone-Calls.
Other highlights of the show include machines dispensing copies of the
Exhibition's sponsoring journal "Vending".
Originally made to vend newspapers
by a firm in Yewsley, Middlesex, about 40 of them are now used in Liverpool
by the "Post and Echo".
They have been equipped with 2/6 coin mechanisms by
Speciality Equipment and Services Ltd.
The prototype version of the new "Conference Suite" designed by the G.P.O
for future use at large conferences and possibly in hotels and public buildings
will be seen for the first time at the Exhibition.
It can dispense three kinds
of stamps, stamp books and letter cards, and also includes a telephone, postbox
and writing desks.
Another special G.P.O. feature will be the "Pay-on-Answer" or long-distance
telephone unit which has been used in Bristol since 1958 and is now due to be
installed in other main towns.
The unit is being manufactured by National
Automatic Machines Ltd.

does fulfil the exacting standards required by the nation's drink - tea.

FIVE HE™: SANKEY VENDO MACHINES FOR
INTERNATIONAL VENDING EXHIBITION
At the International Vending Exhibition, which opens at the
New Horticultural Hall, Westminster, London, S.W.I, on Monday,
Feb. 15i the Vendo Division of Joseph Sankey & Sons Ltd. - a
member company of the Guest, Keen Nettlefolds group - plans
to show five new machines.
The machines - which will be exhibited on Stand A.1 - will
vend respectively hot canned food, ice cream, snacks, sweets
and a choice from ten bottled drinks.
Announcing plans for manufacturing the new machines - which
will be made under licence in this country - Mr. John B. Henderson,
Vendo Division sales manager, says;
"The hot canned food and soft drinks bottle machine will be
in production at Wellington in February; the ice cream machine
in March; and the snacks and sweets machines in May and June
respectively.
"Thus, by mid-summer, the Vendo Division will be producing
a total range of seven automatic vending machines - enough,
in effect, to start an automatic canteen."
The Vendo milk machine, which was the first of Sankey's
ventures into the field of automatic vending, continues to outstrip
its rivals.
At the end of 19599 just two years after the first Vendo milk
machine was sited at Paddington Station, there were over 1,800
Vendo machines - more than four fifths of the total number
operating in Britain today - sited throughout the country.
They have sold more than 4$000,000 gallons of milk.
